Your question is badly worded: the difference between "last post" and "last replies" isn't immediately obviously. I believe what you meant to ask is whether threads should be sorted based on their first (initial) post (which is the new / current order) or on their last post (reply), which was the previous sorting DJI used for years and is the normal approach used on forums like this.
Personally, I think the new sorting is terrible. When I come here, I want to see what was being discussed most recently (the latest posts) and I don't really care how old the thread is (i.e., the age of the first / initial post in the thread). The new sorting makes it impossible to tell when someone had replied to a relatively old post, because I'm not going to go through dozens or hundreds of pages to find which threads scattered within them were recently updated. The result is that if a person has a question or comment related to an old topic, it's probably not going to be noticed and will be ignored.
If you look in the Mavic forum, one of your most frequent contributors even created a thread asking if the forum was "broken" because of the new sorting, and I'd agree that it is "broken": this new sorting is non-standard, unintuitive, and un-helpful, and whoever came up with the idea of changing it clearly doesn't spend much time here.
